Sauerheber, Richard D.; Muñoz, Brandon – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A simple in-class demonstration of integral Calculus for first-time students is described for straightforward whole number area magnitudes, for ease of understanding. Following the Second Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus, macroscopic differences in ordinal values of several integrals, [delta]"F"(x), are compared to the regions of area…

Yangqiuting Li; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Research-based multiple-choice questions implemented in class with peer instruction have been shown to be an effective tool for improving students' engagement and learning outcomes. Moreover, multiple-choice questions that are carefully sequenced to build on each other can be particularly helpful for students to develop a systematic understanding…

Kontro, Inkeri; Buschhüter, David – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS) is an instrument which is widely used in physics education to characterize students' attitudes toward physics and learning physics and compare them with those of experts. While CLASS has been extensively validated for use in the context of higher education institutions in the United…

Maghfiroh, Anissa; Kuswanto, Heru – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
This research aims to reveal the effectiveness of the use of Kofie GeBoL media in improving (1) vector representation ability and (2) critical thinking ability in physics instruction. It is a descriptive quantitative study with the quasi-experiment design. It was conducted in two stages: empirical try out and implementation of Kofie GeboL to see…

Bao, Lei; Koenig, Kathleen; Xiao, Yang; Fritchman, Joseph; Zhou, Shaona; Chen, Cheng – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Abilities in scientific thinking and reasoning have been emphasized as core areas of initiatives, such as the Next Generation Science Standards or the College Board Standards for College Success in Science, which focus on the skills the future will demand of today's students. Although there is rich literature on studies of how these abilities…

Budi Jatmiko; Binar Kurnia Prahani; Munasir; Z. A. Imam Supardi; Iwan Wicaksono; Nia Erlina; Paken Pandiangan; Rosyid Althaf; Zainuddin – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
Critical thinking skills are one of the 21st century skills that are effectively trained by using the OR-IPA and Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model, therefore this research aims to compare the effectiveness of both. Research design used True Experiment with Randomized Subject Control-group Pre-test and Post-test with 94 pre-service physics…

Han, Jing; Koenig, Kathleen; Cui, Lili; Fritchman, Joseph; Li, Dan; Sun, Wanyi; Fu, Zhao; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
In a recent study, the 30-question Force Concept Inventory (FCI) was theoretically split into two 14-question "half-length" tests (HFCIs) covering the same set of concepts and producing mean scores that can be equated to those of the original FCI. The HFCIs require less administration time and reduce test-retest issues when different…

Asikainen, Mervi A. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
The study investigated the use of Quantum Physics Conceptual Survey (QPCS) in probing student understanding of quantum physics. Altogether 103 Finnish university students responded to QPCS. The mean scores of the student responses were calculated and the test was evaluated using common five indices: Item difficulty index, Item discrimination…

Wilcox, Bethany R.; Pollock, Steven J. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
Free-response research-based assessments, like the Colorado Upper-division Electrostatics Diagnostic (CUE), provide rich, fine-grained information about students' reasoning. However, because of the difficulties inherent in scoring these assessments, the majority of the large-scale conceptual assessments in physics are multiple choice. To increase…

Shubert, Christopher W.; Meredith, Dawn C. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Students' epistemologies affect how and what they learn: do they believe physics is a list of equations, or a coherent and sensible description of the physical world? In order to study these epistemologies as part of curricular assessment, we adopt the resources framework, which posits that students have many productive epistemological resources…

Durukan, Ümmü Gülsüm; Saglam-Arslan, Aysegül – Online Submission, 2015
Learners face a variety of concepts during the instructional process they experience. These concepts are mostly introduced by teachers; thus, the competences of teachers in terms of teaching concepts are vitally important. The aim of this study is to detect the understanding levels of teacher candidates about basic astronomy concepts. The method…

Ishimoto, Michi; Thornton, Ronald K.; Sokoloff, David R. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
This study assesses the Japanese translation of the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE). Researchers are often interested in comparing the conceptual ideas of students with different cultural backgrounds. The FMCE has been useful in identifying the concepts of English-speaking students from different backgrounds. To identify effectively…

Balta, Nuri; Mason, Andrew J.; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
Students' attitudes and approaches to physics problem solving can impact how well they learn physics and how successful they are in solving physics problems. Prior research in the U.S. using a validated Attitude and Approaches to Problem Solving (AAPS) survey suggests that there are major differences between students in introductory physics and…

Stewart, Sean M. – European Journal of Physics, 2012
Motivated by quaint woodcut depictions often found in many late 16th and 17th century ballistic manuals of cannonballs fired in air, a comparison of their shapes with those calculated for the classic case of a projectile moving in a linear resisting medium is made. In considering the asymmetrical nature of such trajectories, the initial launch…

Kirschner, Sophie; Borowski, Andreas; Fischer, Hans E.; Gess-Newsome, Julie; von Aufschnaiter, Claudia – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
Teachers' professional knowledge is assumed to be a key variable for effective teaching. As teacher education has the goal to enhance professional knowledge of current and future teachers, this knowledge should be described and assessed. Nevertheless, only a limited number of studies quantitatively measures physics teachers' professional…
